Welcome to Brickton!

Eye. Witness.

In a world centered at a child’s eye level, big discoveries are an everyday occurrence where a child becomes a scientist, an innovator, an engineer, an educator.

Hands. On.

When you can touch it, even complicated ideas become manageable. Montessori materials stimulate all our senses. With multiple ways of connecting to a single concept, every child can find a path to successful learning.

Team. Work.

Two heads can be better than one when there’s a challenge to puzzle out. In a Montessori classroom, children often spontaneously come together to find practical solutions to everyday problems.

Floor. Plan.

Why limit a classroom to rows of desks? Learning unfolds naturally when a child is physically relaxed and mentally engaged. Sometimes a rug can be the best launching pad.

Focus. Group.

Sharing ideas and working through challenges together can be the difference between just going to school and being part of a learning community. At Brickton, focused moments of group effort are simply business as usual.

Work. Environment.

Bringing the students to the world outside of our classrooms allow for authentic, real world understanding of the physical and social sciences. Our students are immersed in the ecology and cultures of our diverse community.

Human. Resources.

Global citizenship begins in the classroom, expanding outward through service learning experiences as our students gain a greater understanding of the diverse world around them.

Play. List.

Exploring music, drama and art provide an outlet for self-expression, nurturing the creative energies that allow our students to find their passion.

Information. Technology.

From discovering the technology of a simple machine to creating a multi-media presentation, students build a solid foundation to make sense of our world, using deliberate observation and evaluation of information.

Why Brickton?

We believe in an individualized Montessori curriculum designed to meet the needs of each child and promote self-motivation.
